I walk through the dimly lit room, wondering how I even got here in the first place. The room looks and feels like it belongs inside my home but I know that it does not. Something isn't right.
I turn my head slowly, suddenly very aware that someone else is here with me.
She stands in the corner of the room.
A foul creature who vaguely resembles someone that I know. Her hypnotic eyes render me unable to move as I watch her slowly slink closer to me.
I shudder with fear as she approaches, tho I still find myself unable to flee. She places one hand on top of my head and another under my chin. She tilts my head back slowly, opening me as if I were a life size Pez machine.
I squirm as her rough, dry tongue slides down my skin, searching for the perfect artery to strike. Her hot breath dances on my skin, making the tiny hairs all over my body stand up with anticipation.
Her long, sharp teeth plunge into my exposed neck slowly. She savors the taste and almost moans with pleasure.
I stare into the blackness, allowing it to engulf me completely as I wait for death to come for me.
Slowly, I feel the end approaching. I know it will be my time soon. The temperature in the air has shifted and I no longer know what it used to feel like. All I know is that it is different now.
Everything is different now.
She turns around after finishing me, allowing me to sink to the floor faster than I would have wished. Not bothering to look back at what she has left, she moves on to the next.
James rushes in the room, shaking me awake from my dream. I sit up in bed, wiping my forehead free from the beads of sweat that cover it.
"Julie is missing." He tries his hardest to not wake my parents while still expressing concern.
It was until he said her name that I could not place who I saw in my dream.
I know now that it was Julie.
